Mate Ma'a Tonga's head coach Kristian Woolf was baffled as to why officials did not check with the Television Match Official to see whether his prop Andrew Fifita had scored at the death of Tonga's Rugby League World Cup semi‑final in Auckland against England last night.
Fifita looked to have scored the match-winner with the final play of the match, only for the referee to rule a knock‑on.
Woolf said he wasn't sure whether his front-rower had scored.
The Tongan coach believes the final play of the game should have been reviewed with what was at stake.
It appeared the ball was stripped in a one‑on‑one by English second‑rower Elliott Whitehead, rather than knocked on ‑ allowing Fifita to continue.
England will take on Australia at 10pm next Saturday in the final of the Rugby League World Cup.
